    Dorian -

     

    I just wanted to post a quick note of thanks for sharing this with all of us.  I just read the transcript.  I guess all I can say is WOW.  It was so moving and I was totally drawn in (I almost burnt the beef stew on the stove!). And I have to admit somewhat scary.  I am about to hit 40 and I guess one just never thinks this kind of disease is going to hit me at this early age. 

     

    But it has made me more aware of the kinds of things I need to do to help myself stay "fit" and to be prepared without driving myself a bit too nuts.

     

    Thanks again for sharing this info with all of us.  I hope your new year is a great one.

     

    All the best, Sue (aka SMM)

    I heard from Richard Bozanich, one of the six people featured in the segment on PBS. He wanted to share that, in addition to the transcript, people can now watch the video of the segment online (as well as listen to the audio or download it). The web link for the video is --

    Richard and two of his counterparts participated in the Insider Forum with Susan Dentzer on Tuesday morning so it should be online shortly.

     

    Hope you will check this out. It's very informative!
